• The Light Control requires 120-volts AC.
• If you want to use Manual Mode, the control must be
wired through a switch.
• Some codes require installation by a qualifi ed
electrician.
• This product is intended for use with the enclosed
gasket and with a junction box marked for use in wet

INSTALLATION
For easy installation, select an existing light with a wall
switch for replacement.
For best performance, mount the fi xture about 8 ft.
(2.4 m) above the ground.
CAUTION: To Avoid Fire Or Burn Hazards:
• Allow fi xture to cool before touching. The bulb and
the fi xture operate at high temperatures.
Keep fi xture at least 1" (2.5 cm) from combustible ma-
•
terials. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 ft. (1 m).
• Use only T3, 250W (max.) tungsten halogen 120
VAC lamps.
BULB INSTALLATION
❒ When relamping, turn power off and let the fi xture
cool.
❒ Remove glass cover and remove the old bulb by
pushing the bulb towards the socket indicated on
the metal refl ector.
❒ To inser t the new bulb, follow the instructions printed
on the metal refl ector.
❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly.
❒ Reinstall the glass cover.
WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL
❒ Note the position of the various parts of the fi xture for
the type of installation for your application and adjust
the lamp head and sensor as shown below.

For under eave installation, the sensor head must be
rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper operation
and to avoid the risk of electrical shock. Also for proper
under eave operation, remove the protective backing
from the Light Shield and stick on as shown below.
For eave mount only:
❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.

WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker
or fuse.
❒ Remove the existing light fi xture.
❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws
appropriate for your junction box.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fi xture
while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger
can be threaded through the hole in the center of
the cover plate. The small end then goes into one
of the slots on the mounting strap.
❒ Thread all fi xture wires through the large holes in
the gasket as shown.
❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light fi xture
wires as shown. Twist together and secure with wire
connectors.

TEST AND ADJUSTMENT
❒ Turn on the circuit breaker and light switch.
NOTE: Sensor has about 1 1/2 minutes warm up period
before it will detect motion. When fi rst turned
on, wait about 1 1/2 minutes.
❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position and
the ON-TIME control to the TEST position.

Bottom of Sensor
Avoid aiming the control at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as
heating vents and air conditioners. These heat
sources could cause false triggering.
• Areas where pets or traffi c may trigger the control.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects refl ecting light
may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other
lights at the sensor.

❒ Loosen the clamp screw in the
sensor ball joint and gently
rotate the sensor.
❒ Walk through the coverage area
noting where you are when the
lights turn on (also, the LED will
fl ash several times when motion
is detected). Move the sensor
head up, down, or sideways to
change the coverage area. Keep
the sensor at least 1" (2.5
cm) away from the lamp.
❒ Adjust the RANGE as needed.
RANGE set too high may
increase false triggering.
❒ Secure the sensor head by
tightening the clamp screw.
Do not overtighten the screw.
❒ Set the amount of TIME you
want the lights to stay on after motion is detected
(1, 5, or 10 minutes).
